Wow, that's a very smart idea. I hope those labels have to be big enough to read...

The label was about 10x15cm which is only readable when standing beside the vehicle. Useful when shopping for a car but unless people start leaving messages on parked gas guzzlers it may not have much impact.

Tailpipe emissions are used for smog score

Gas mileage is the measure of GHG score

The stickers that are already on dealer cars give gas mileage and all cars have to pass emissions tests. These stickers at least give the consumer a rating to compare the car against others. I suppose that could just be included on the existing dealer sticker and save wasting a bunch of tax dollars on another sticker.

 

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world
